The Siemens Arts Program
The Siemens Arts Program has been active in the four fields of visual arts,
performance arts, music, and also contemporary and cultural history
(http://www.siemensartprogram.de) in cooperation with various institutions
since 1987. The projects are international and are designed for the
company's staff as well as for a public interested in art and culture. From
the viewpoint of art and culture the program examines developments in
society that call for an open discussion in the voltage field of culture,
business and science. In addition to conveying and discussing contemporary
positions, one of the program's goals has always been to combine the world
of art and the world of work.
